Really, when it came right down to it, there wasn't much for a 13-year-old boy to do around here. There was no Game, he didn't have the computer, or internet, he didn't have video games or Pesterchum. He didn't even have the resident junk in his bedroom to futz around with, just the stuff in his sylladex. He could only fly so long, after all.

So he had dragged out Colonel Sassacre's Daunting Text of Magical Frivolity and Practical Japery, and was now reading it on the floor of the front porch. True, it was very large. And rather daunting. But maybe he could get some good ideas for practical jokes to play on people. He needed something to do after all.

	"Your home must be nice, then. Annoying or not, this place is better than home." He sighed and sat down on a step, looking up at John. He wasn't sure how anybody could be best buddies with Dave, but he was going to let that go. "And if you do it w-wrong?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It was pretty nice. It kinda got destroyed by meteors, though. That sucks but..." He shrugged. He still didn't know how to feel about that, especially since it looked like he wasn't getting back to the Game any time soon.

"Welp, if I get the prank wrong and it backfires, people are laughing at me. If I get the prank right and they get mad, then I run like hell and hope I don't get beat up. But that doesn't happen that often."

	"Meteors? ...yeah. That does suck." He could definitely see why John liked it here okay, there weren't any meteors for one thing. At John's explanation, Fend went quiet for a moment and then began to giggle. "Running like hell is something that I'm pretty good at, actually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Seriously. I'm not sure how I feel about being here yet, I'm kinda trying not to really think about it!" He grinned but was completely serious--inside. John hated being serious most of the time.

He laughed too. "It's a good life skill." Not that he couldn't fight of course. But it wasn't good to smash non-game constructs with a hammer. They don't learn anything that way.

	"You don't know the half of it..." Because Fend couldn't fight at all, no matter what he told Dave. Running was the best life skill he had. I guess you get used to being places, especially if you don't think about it." (Reply to this) (Parent)
